I'm debugging a C++ program, I don't have access to the original
source code so I'm doing it with the disassembly. Sometimes the
software appears to gets stuck in a loop, I assume this because the
program looks to freeze, but the debugger I'm running it in says its
still running.
My question is, is there a way to nail down where its getting stuck?
This is a windows program, and I'm using ollydbg as the debugger.
Run it using strace, so see if it's polling on any devices, files,
or locks.
If it isn't then just break it repeatedly in a debugger and find out
which bits of code seem to be run over and over again.
